The Audio Control SA3050 RTA that comes with an ACO Pacific measurement microphone puts out
12VDC phantom power. This is pretty standard for any omni mic based on an electret element. In
fact they can work fine off 1.5 VCD, with less output of course, but that can be made up for
with gain in the unit.
